Ghosts of Atlantis is an extreme symphonic metal/metalcore band from Ipswich in Suffolk, formed in 2020. They merge symphonic grandeur with extreme metal intensity from the East Anglian county town.
Ghosts of the Void is a metalcore band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2019, blending metalcore, thrash, and melodic death metal across their 2019 debut Against the Tide. The five-track release delivers concise, hard-hitting compositions exploring themes of resistance and perseverance.
Named after a three-headed kaiju, Merced's Gidorah bring a corresponding multi-pronged assault of death metal brutality, groove-driven rhythm, and metalcore intensity. Their music hits like a creature that attacks from every direction at once.
Technical death metal and metalcore act from Korolyov near Moscow, active since 2006 and fusing intricate musicianship with aggressive breakdowns. Their long-running career has allowed them to refine a sound that balances technical ambition with crushing impact.
Salinas, California's Give Her the Gun bring a melodically aware but uncompromising metalcore sound that's been sharpened through years of work since 2012. They're built for stages and pit floors in equal measure.
Boston's Give Zombies the Vote merge melodic death metal's harmonic sophistication with metalcore's rhythmic aggression and a name that's equal parts political provocation and horror camp. Active since 2012, they make technically ambitious music that never forgets to be fun.
Connecticut's Glass Divide brings groove metal's locked-in chug and metalcore's emotional intensity together in a combination that hits hard and keeps moving. The Shelton outfit has been sharpening this dual-edged attack since 2017.
Glass Killing Floor brings a blunt-force metalcore attack from the Louisville underground, pairing serrated riffing with the kind of emotional urgency that metalcore at its best has always traded in. They've been at it since 2019.
Indianapolis's Global Plague works the space between progressive metalcore's technical reach and groove metal's locking-in low end, building music with enough structural interest to reward repeat listens and enough blunt force to satisfy immediately. Active since 2020.
